When you choose Xinhongji Refractory as your aluminum melting and holding furnace designer & constructor, the furnace system is engineered to meet your specific needs and requirements.

Our design engineers have years of experience in aluminum melting and holding applications. Whether your requirements involve preheating charge material, melting solids such as sows, T-bar, Ingot, clean and dirty scrap, or holding metal for cleaning and alloying. Xinhongji Refractory has the furnace you need to melt, hold, and deliver at the rate your casting process requires.

Xinhongji Refractory Furnace Engineering comes in many types, shapes, and sizes with melt rates and capacities to meet your specific requirements and provide many years of efficient and dependable service. Our engineering staff works closely with your plant engineering, production, and maintenance staff from start to finish to ensure optimum performance for the furnace system and integration with upstream and downstream plant operations.

Controls

Xinhongji Refractory incorporates the latest PLC-based control hardware and software providing optimal furnace system control. Combustion fuel-to-air ratios and combustion input are optimized to achieve targeted metal set points and provide highly efficient results. SCADA and Ethernet communication capabilities allow interface communication with casting stations and other up and downstream processes. Remote communication capabilities allow the display of furnace system alarms, set points, and fuel usage from your remote PC or smartphone. These remote capabilities afford you the knowledge required to keep your process on track.

Combustion Systems

Xinhongji Refractory works with many burner manufacturers to determine and select the burners best suited for your specific application, balancing your need for performance vs. budget.

Burner placement and input are analyzed to provide maximum melt target coverage, ensuring fast and efficient melting. Burner specifics such as flame length, shape, and velocity are considered to maximize melting performance without compromising metal quality.

The cost of improper burner assessment and placement can lead to direct flame impingement and excessive bath surface agitation, causing high metal loss. Over-sized heat input into the furnace chamber can dramatically reduce the service life of the valuable furnace lining.

Refractory Lining

Xinhongji Refractory understands that your process and operating parameters require a furnace refractory lining and materials specifically designed to suit your operation. The factors taken into consideration include the composition of your alloy, the aluminum freeze plane, spall resistance, metal attack resistance, and abrasion resistance in severe duty areas, and your charging, fluxing, and cleaning routine.

New energy-saving refractory materials such as calcium silicate board, which is a non-wetting board with superior insulating properties, are constantly being evaluated and utilized to provide efficient and economical furnace lining designs. Materials such as this become a cost-effective backup material in the value calculation.

Cost vs Performance

Xinhongji Refractory offers a wide range of options to maximize performance within your budget. Preheated combustion air systems, preheating chambers for solids, metal recirculation pumps, and stirrers are just some of the efficiency improvements that can be included to reach a balance between your budget and performance requirements.
